The Government of Telangana has introduced a new state-level initiative aimed at enhancing financial independence and fostering self-employment opportunities among women from Backward Classes (BC). Titled the "Intintiki Indiramma Sewing Machine Scheme," the program seeks to provide eligible women with essential tools to establish their own tailoring micro-enterprises and generate sustainable livelihoods right from their homes.
Initiative Driven by BC Finance Corporation
The distribution initiative is being implemented through the Telangana Backward Classes Finance Corporation, operating directly under the aegis of the BC Welfare Department. Dr. Mallaiah Bhattu, the Vice Chairman and Managing Director of the Telangana BC Finance Corporation, officially announced the scheme's launch through an official press statement detailing its operational guidelines and administrative framework.
According to officials, the primary objective of the scheme is to bridge economic gaps for women belonging to marginalized communities by offering concrete tools for financial stability. By placing sewing machines directly into households, the government aims to encourage entrepreneurship, lower entry barriers for home-based vocational work, and strengthen rural and urban local economies across the state.
Eligibility Criteria and Family Income Thresholds
To ensure targeted delivery and reach those most in need, the state administration has outlined clear qualification guidelines for applicants. The scheme is specifically tailored for unemployed women belonging to Backward Classes across both rural and urban areas of Telangana.
Core Requirements for Applicants:
Age Limit: Women applying for the scheme must fall between 18 and 55 years of age at the time of submission.

The official press statement confirms that the deadline for submitting online applications is September 15, 2026. Applicants are advised to upload clear documentation prior to the cutoff date to avoid administrative delays or rejection during the screening phase.

Dr. Mallaiah Bhattu advised interested individuals to reach out directly to their respective District Backward Classes Development Officer (DBCDO) or the Executive Director (ED) of the local BC Corporation office.
